Hi all,

Over Easter the spring clips in my mast base bent to a point where it needs replacing. I have been using the 2 pin system for many years but wish to try the euro pin system. I mainly sail in the waves and I find there is far too much movement/slop in the 2 pin system which is the main reason to go to the the euro pin system. I think the streamlined system is a good system aswell (used in Maui)....

Maybe its just me but it seems silly to throw the whole carbon extension away just because I wish to change the way my mast base connects to my extension!!! Has anyone done a conversion? There are 4 pop rivets and what looks like epoxy resin holding the moulded plastic part (with pulley's) to the Carbon rod. Might need a grinder and some other tools to get the base off butthink its worth while doing. Pictures below.

Has anyone completed this conversion before? Does anyone know where I can purchase all the mast extension parts minus the carbon rod? Would be very interested to hear thoughts/opinions....

Thanks in advance..
